Shangri La Resort in Mactan island |
Shangri La Resort in Mactan island
Also one of my favorite luxury resorts in Cebu. It has a great beach front although it is man-made. For me, it's the best resort in Mactan island. There is a plenty of activities and facilities at the resort for couples or families to enjoy. There is a great selection of restaurants with good food, resort rooms is high of a standard, quite expensive. If you want to indulge yourself a little, this is a place to come in Cebu. Some of the rooms has best scenic views that will make your stay memorable.
Plantation Bay Resort |
Plantation Bay Resort
Plantation Bay Resort one of the most luxurious. Why I've chosen this one is because it's one of the most unique in Cebu and has some great eye candy. It has some huge lagoons, although they are made of concrete and you can get out of the fact that it’s all faked, it just looks great and you can have a lot of fun here. If you get one of the lagoon edge rooms, you can see it outside on the balcony right on the edge of the lagoon. The actual beach here is pretty ordinary though. The rooms are decent enough although not up to the standard, compared to the luxurious Shangri La. There's a number of restaurants, and has plenty of activities you can indulge.
Quo Vadis Dive Resort |
Quo Vadis Dive Resort
Which is a great resort to stay out of the sea with a dive shop attached. As this part of Cebu is famous for its great diving. The resort has its own swimming pool, decent restaurant, overlooking the ocean, and various types of rooms and bungalows to stay at. Bar is affordable and nice enough. The bathrooms and the rooms are pretty decent as well. Some of the rooms have TVs, and there's plenty to choose from.
Badian Island Wellness Resort |
Badian Island Wellness Resort
Badian Island Wellness Resort, Badian Island or Badyan Island as I've been told, is an exclusive resort on this island. It is an up-market resort in the south of Cebu the way they have set up the beach front just looks real decadent and stylish. Enjoy the warm Filipino hospitality as you stayed in this wonderful resort. It's peaceful and secluded giving that real getaway feel. There’s a pool on site, a good restaurant and there's also a spa. The rooms are decent, but nothing spectacular. And the resort is expensive as well. Definitely a fantastic place to watch a tropical sunset.
Bluewater Sumilon Islands Resort |
I wanted to keep this list to ten but I wanted to add one more, as it is clearly a wonderful resort to stay, this is Bluewater Sumilon Islands Resort. So I've added this as a bonus. It's one of Cebu’s best island resort and one of the pretty silenced in the Philippines with its beautiful white sand bag. A real iconic feature of Cebu the same bank has shifting sands so never quite looks inside. If that's not enough, it's got a fantastic infinity pool perfect for that afternoon cocktail. The island is surrounded by some beautiful beaches and scenery. This is what I call a true paradise. Stay in some stylish rooms that faces the ocean give me some gorgeous views. Rooms are really nice and elegant, though not five star but still fantastic to stay. They have premier deluxe rooms if you want a bit more luxury, try one of the villas, which has one or two bedrooms and have a plunge pool. They also have some great views looking over the ocean. They also have a restaurant offering some decent food. And again, beautiful sunsets, I highly recommend it.
